Lu Shiyi transmigrates into the body of a cannon fodder character.
The System forces him to follow the plot, spending years dancing on the male lead's landmines before the male lead breaks through to a new level and runs him through with a sword.
Unfortunately, he was born into this world, has no golden finger, and is sickly enough to nearly suffocate just from climbing a hill.
To stay alive until the male lead shows up, he has no choice but to join some obscure little sect and cultivate diligently.
From then on, his daily routine becomes a cycle of cultivating, getting bullied by his fellow disciples, cultivating some more, and getting bullied again.
After finally cultivating enough to beat his fellow disciples, Lu Shiyi figures that his cultivation should be enough to play a cannon fodder role.
So he packs his things, leaves a letter behind, and heads down the mountain to find the male lead.
But the timing is terrible. He arrives right at the opening of the novel's plot.
The Big Boss, the Demon Venerable, breaks out of his seal and reappears in the world. He strikes the young male lead, who is just beginning to make a name for himself, planting the seeds of the brief fall into darkness he will experience later.
But for some reason, the major villain ignores the male lead and charges straight at Lu Shiyi, the cannon fodder.
Lu Shiyi, who isn't supposed to die at this point in the story, instinctively raises his sword.
Then...
He stabs the Demon Venerable to death with one thrust.
His soul scatters, and his demonic energy vanishes.
All that remains is a heart-rending scream cut short mid-wail.
The righteous cultivators prepared to lay down their lives: ...
The male lead, who hasn't even had a chance to start his life's work: ...
Lu Shiyi: ...
Good grief, was the novel's biggest villain really this fragile?
#What do you do when the plot ends before it even begins#
-
Carefree Sect is an obscure, laid-back little sect where people come to retire, but it has taken in the world's most troublesome reclusive powerhouses... plural.
The spirit of an ancient divine sword, a former Demon Emperor who faked his death and retired, a half-human, half-god, a Host to a ferocious beast...
You'd think you needed a special bloodline and a blood feud just to fit in here.
Then one day, the sect leader brings home a human child.
An ordinary mortal with no special bloodline and a body riddled with illness.
He seems like a fragile, pitiful little rabbit.
At first, his senior brothers and sisters are eager to teach him a lesson.
Later, they fight every day, all to win the right to feed their junior brother.
And later still, the frail junior brother levels a mountain with one sword stroke. The little white rabbit turns into a Godzilla who can pin all his fellow disciples to the ground and thrash them.
Yet this heaven-blessed genius of a junior brother has no idea how strong he really is.
When he goes down the mountain that day, he leaves behind a farewell letter, as if the mountain below were full of ferocious beasts that could easily keep him from returning.
His fellow disciples look at the sect leader, who smiles eerily and is making an exception by going down the mountain after him. Then they think about the junior brother's brutally fast cultivation progress and fall into deep thought.
Does the junior brother have some kind of misunderstanding about his own strength and just how much everyone dotes on him?!
